Astral E170

Built for everyday residential pool circulation. The E 170C is designed for pools that do not require the higher pressure output of large performance pumps. It delivers reliable circulation for standard filtration systems while keeping operation simple and efficient.

More flow than the E 140C. With a flow rate of 170 lpm at 8m head and a 0.75 HP motor, the E 170C offers increased circulation performance compared to the smaller E 140C. This makes it better suited to medium-sized residential pools or systems requiring slightly higher water movement.

Quiet operation around the pool area. Operating at just 57 dBA at 1 metre, the E 170C is designed to keep equipment noise low. This is especially important for residential pools located near entertaining areas, bedrooms, or neighbouring properties.

Lower running costs for standard pool systems. The E-Series range is engineered to provide efficient circulation while using less power than larger high-performance pumps. For many residential pool owners, this helps reduce everyday operating costs.

Durable construction with minimal maintenance. Built from quality components and corrosion-resistant materials, the E 170C is designed for long-term residential use with minimal servicing requirements.

• Your plumbing layout requires higher head pressure

You may want to consider a variable speed pump instead if:

• Your pool runs long daily filtration cycles
• Energy savings are your highest priority

Installation & Maintenance

The Astral E 170C should be installed by a licensed pool technician or electrician in accordance with Australian electrical standards. The pump should be mounted on a stable, level base with adequate drainage and ventilation around the equipment area.

For best performance, install the pump as close to the pool as practical to minimise suction loss and improve circulation efficiency. Ensure the system is fully primed before operation and that all plumbing connections are correctly sealed.

Routine maintenance is straightforward. Clean the strainer basket regularly, inspect the lid seal and fittings periodically, and keep the equipment area free from debris. Thanks to its durable construction and efficient design, the E 170C is built for dependable long-term operation with minimal servicing requirements.
